Funny Upstate NY Congressional Endorsements from Esquire Mag
An observant reader (thanks Bill!) hipped us to Esquire Magazine’s funny Congressional endorsements. Here’s an excerpt from the races we’re following:
District 25
Jim Walsh (R)
Dan Maffei (D)
Jim Walsh’s prescription for his district’s economic woes is a steady diet of bacon. His opponent, Dan Maffei, will be more creative: Only an original thinker could have served both Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Bill Bradley.
Esquire endorses: MaffeiDistrict 28
John Donnelly (R)
Louise Slaughter (D)
A scientist by training, Slaughter looks out for her Rochester constituents’ research-based economy and led the bipartisan Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues.
Esquire endorses: SlaughterDistrict 29
Randy Kuhl (R)
Eric Massa (D)
Kuhl has lost the support of the unions that gave him his seat. Maybe that’s due to his toeing of the anti-union party line in Washington, or maybe it’s because he’s just plain forgettable, while his opponent, Navy veteran Eric Massa, speaks eloquently on issues from the economy to the war.
Esquire endorses: Massa
Ok, those were just mildly funny (but accurate). This one had me laughing, though:
District 26
Tom Reynolds (R)
Jack Davis (D)
Tom Reynolds is heading the Republican reelection push this year, so he’s a busy man. Luckily, his opponent is a “Democrat” who describes himself, in fact, as a Goldwater Republican–and a wealthy industrialist who supports protectionist economic policies. Get with the times, Jack.
Esquire endorses: ReynoldsYou know what? In the wake of the Foley Scandal there’s no way in hell we can endorse a man who bravely stepped before the microphones to say he didn’t know anything about anything, and managed to surround himself with children to do it. What a dirtball. Esquire now endorses: Davis
Awesome.
Well said.
Awsome, thanks.
I have to post this on my site, Ill give ya credit don’t worry.
